    For (3), and if you’re interested in checking if specific bits are set or not, take a look at https://github.com/bits-and-blooms/bitset and https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/roaring.

    Each topic has a roaring bitmap. Each bit corresponds to a subscriber in the skip list. For each topic, head and tail cursors are also maintained to ensure that newly added subscriptions are always tested and deleted subscriptions are always evicted. Roaring bitmaps are compressed and discontinuous so memory usage again remains bounded as subscribers come and go.

    Definitely take a look at a roaring bitmap. https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/roaring

    Roaring bitmaps + btrees are a rock solid indexing approach. Alternatively, bleve has a lot out of the box but that's introducing a new datastore, basically.

    It doesn't come up very often. There is an id generation library I use github.com/bwmarrin/snowflake that makes pretty good use of bit shifting. Each id is split into 3 parts, a timestamp, a node id, and a sequence number. The idea is that each server has a node id. Each node can make 4096 ids every millisecond for about 70 years. It works by doing the following
